When methods are defined in Go, does the pointer always increment in the exact order in which they are defined in source - or is it possible that lower pointer space could be re-allocated?
For example - is methods now in the guaranteed order of A, Z, D, B regardless of go version or arch?
package main
import (
"fmt"
"reflect"
"sort"
)
type t struct{}
func (a *t) A() {}
func (a *t) Z() {}
func (a *t) D() {}
func (a *t) B() {}
type addr struct {
Addr uintptr
Method string
}
type addrList []addr
func (a addrList) Len() int {
return len(a)
}
func (a addrList) Less(i, j int) bool {
return a[i].Addr < a[j].Addr
}
func (a addrList) Swap(i, j int) {
a[i], a[j] = a[j], a[i]
}
func main() {
methods := addrList{}
fooType := reflect.TypeOf(&t{})
for i := 0; i < fooType.NumMethod(); i++ {
method := fooType.Method(i)
methods = append(methods, addr{method.Func.Pointer(), method.Name})
}
sort.Sort(methods)
fmt.Println(methods)
}
